friendationship 

the state of a relationship wherein the two people are clearly "more than friends" but won't admit or don't know if they are a "couple" or not

I created this word about five years ago by merging the words "friend" and "relationship." There are so many relationships that seem undefinable, and this word suits them well.
Bill and Sara claim that they're not dating, but they spend every waking moment together; so I'm starting to wonder if they are in a friendationship.

Friendlationship 

Friendlationship(n) is a combination of the words 'friends' and 'relationship', used to describe a somewhat-platonic relationship that contains all the aspects of an actual romantic relationship, without any physical/sexual benefits. Basically, all the sacrifice but none of the gain. Often occurs when both people involved harbor some desire for the other, but neither is willing to take a chance and potentially ruin their friendship.
Guy 1: So is Jake hanging out with us tonight?
Guy 2: No man, he's hanging out with Vanessa again.

Guy 1: Man he's so whipped. What an idiot.
Guy 2: He needs to get out of that fucking friendlationship.

friendlationship 

"Friendlationship" is a word that describes something more than friendship, but less than a dating relationship. My girlfriend, Angela, made it up about 4 months ago. It described the 'thing' between her and the person she wanted more with. However, the other person was too... whatever... to conceed to a relationship with Angela. Pretty much means there's courtship, but no one's ready to label it yet.
